Rafah border crossing: Egypt rejects Israel's plan for reopening
Egypt has rejected Israel’s proposal to jointly coordinate the reopening and management of the Rafah crossing between Sinai and Gaza. This decision comes after Israel's recent seizure of the Gaza side of the crossing. Egypt insists that, in accordance with existing agreements, the Gaza side should be managed solely by Palestinian authorities.
Reporting live from Amman, Jordan, Al Jazeera’s Imran Khan covers the developments, following Israel's shutdown of Al Jazeera’s operations within its borders. Joining the live coverage from Montreal is Mouin Rabbani, a Middle East analyst and co-editor of the online magazine Jadaliyya.

It will go on for some time to come unless NATO shrugs off it's restrictive strict rules and shows some flexibility in it's approach to direct troop support for Ukraine . They don't have to enter the front line fighting just secure all of Western Ukraine and create a safe zone that Putin can not ever take . That will be so helpful to Ukraine in many ways and a buffer zone for Poland .

Israel was right in entering rafah, they found the hamas tunnels that were used to help hamas but nit help Gazans. Hamas used Gazans as human shields using schools, hospitals and children bedrooms for attacks. They use pain of innocent Gazans as propaganda material. Hamas has killed more Gazans than idf just to get video recordings.

Thanks for news about Conflict
Endless, Palestinians are being slaughtered by Israel every hour! There's a buffer zone between Egypt and Gaza 8.7 miles, room enough for "humanitarian aid to transpire in that buffer zone area. Egypt is ten times the size of Israel in population, with that, Egypt should start surrounding the buffer zone, so that, humanitarian food and medical aid can get to Palestinians sooner! There's a forsaken amount of land, that all allies for Palestinians, should agree, and support that buffer zone in saving lives! This Buffer Zone should be the main priority, to focus on, in the Israeli invasion on Palestine! The Buffer Zone, from Egypt to Gaza Strip, should be the road for Humanity Aid to move forward, without delay! This major crisis, should over weigh any written policies, to save what's left of the Palestinian population!

Seriously, I know that your channel has won awards, but Al Jazeera is now just about the only main news outlet that is not profit oriented, thus 'selling' the news that sell, in the narratives that sell. I get it, owners are Qatari, but I also get that the owners of Al Jazeera have their money from other businesses, and may not need top rely on sponsors... Thus the excellent, relatively truthful and balanced coverage of relevant news.

Let the world judge him. Maybe you have a little understanding of the middle east, I have lived in it. 3- if Egypt get involved that means the rest of the Arab world will be involved, that will drag the super power into it.
